Abstract: A method is dedicated to the obtaining of video recordings related to a user who has a communication device (EC) capable of connecting to a wireless communications network (RC) and whose position is determinable. This method comprises the following steps: (i) determining the position of the spot where the communication device (EC) is located, (ii) determining whether there is at least one camera (C1) capable of providing video recordings, of a part of an observation area that may include that determined spot, accessible via the communications network (RC), and (iii) in the event that such a camera (C1) is determined, transmitting to the communication device (EC), via the communications network (RC), at least a portion of a video recording made by that camera (C1) while the communication device (EC) is in its observation zone.

Abstract: The aim of the present invention is a system (100) for selecting a message suitable for delivery to a user (111) of telecommunications services. This system (100) comprises a first database (107) including a range of statuses characteristic of said user (111), each status occupying a specific place in a series of possible statuses, and transitions between the different statuses, a second database (108) including a range of messages suitable for broadcast to said user (111) and a third database (104) incorporating a history of messages already broadcast to said user (111). The system (100) also comprises a calculator (101) comprising transition detection means (112) and means of determining the current status of said user (111) based on data provided by said third database (104), means (113) of associating said current status with a message included in said second database and means (103; 115; 114) of determining the moment to broadcast said message to said user (111).

Abstract: A device (D) is designed to manage applications for a piece of communication equipment (EC) of a user, capable of connecting to a communication network (R). This device (D) comprises i) a search system (MR) configured to determine, through the network (R), applications that may be downloaded and used by the communication equipment (EC) and that are potentially useful to the user based on at least one parameter, and ii) a management system (MG) configured to order the communication device (EC) to download to a storage system (MS2) at least one of the applications thus determined in order to offer it to the user, and to control the installation of each proposed application selected by the user in order for it to be potentially used at least temporarily.

Abstract: Method for colour selection assistance for the preparation of visual aids, taking into account at least one profile influencing the selection of colours, one lesson about a colour, one colour combination rule, and one piece of information about the structure of the visual aid.

Abstract: A weighted list may be visually shown on a website, e.g., as a tag cloud, object cloud, etc. The font size of each item in the weighted list may indicate its strength relative to the other items in the same. The strength of a weighted list item is determined based at least on multi-dimensional weights accorded to applications by users of a given tag to an object. For example, each multi-dimensional weight may be an aggregate of weight measures of two or more of quantity-based dimensions, time-based dimensions, social distance-based dimensions, semantic similarity dimensions, etc.

Abstract: A device (D) is dedicated to indexing content that is made available to users. This device (D) comprises processing means (PM) tasked with associated content with metadata that defines it at least partially based on contextual information that is representative of the usage of said content by users, on user information that is representative of the profiles of the users of said content, and on metadata which had previously been associated with said content.

Abstract: The invention relates to the selection of personalized advertisements in a media delivery network (102). The advertisement selection system (101) selects advertisements based on the content of the media delivered to the user (103) and based on the user-profile of the user (103) requesting the media.
